What is the best way to describe the function of a typical transistor in an electronic circuit?

A transistor in a circuit can do many things. It can be used to amplify voltage signals, or current signals, create current and voltage sources, make buffers, and so on. Transistors also find a major use in logic circuits (ie, where signals can either be a '0' or a '1'), where they essentially act as a switch, and can be used to create inverters, AND gates, OR gates, and all sorts of useful components.
By itself, a transistor is a three-terminal device that can control the current going through two of its terminals through the voltage applied at the third terminal.
But there are many applications for a transistor in its many different configurations, which is why it is so important in modern electronic technology.

How do you use the Transistor output terminals of an electronic counter in a Electrical control circuit?
They use transistor as the purpose to transfer the voltage
What electronic function made the transistor famous?
The importance of the Transistor was that it could amplify an electrical signal. It was thus an analog of the vacuum tube devices, and could take advantage of the circuit history and applications that had built up over the preceding 50 years.
Why is it necessary to bias a transistor when it is to be used as an amplifier?
Biasing is necessary in a transistor circuit to keep the transistor working. Without proper biasing, the circuit will fail
What is transistor relay driver?
a transistor circuit for driving the coil of a magnetic relay.
The circuit in a bipolar transistor that carries 5 percent of the current flow is the?
the base circuit
What is basic electronic building block of a integrated circuit?
A transistor.

What are the importance of transistor?
A transistor is a semiconductor(like many) that amplifies and switches electrical signals(electronic switch) in a circuit, it is used inside a circuit which requires switching without been manually operated.

What does a tarnsistor do?
A transistor is a small electronic device containing a semiconductor and having at least three electrical contacts, used in a circuit as an amplifier.
What does an led do in an electronic circuit?
the function of an led is to give of light coming through an electrical circuit
Why is it necessary to bias a transistor when it is to be used as an amplifier?
Biasing is necessary in a transistor circuit to keep the transistor working. Without proper biasing, the circuit will fail
Introduction of clap switch?
This circuit can switch on and off light a fan or a radio etc;by the sound of a clap This circuit is constructed using basic electronic component like resistor transistor relay transformer capacitor .This circuit turns on light for the first clap . the light turns on till the next clap .for the next clap turns off this circuit works with 12v voltage . therefore a step-cown transformer 12v/300ma is employed. The working of the circuit is based on amplifying nature of the transistor . switching the nature of transistor and relay as an electronic switch.
